Teams Premium will introduce “Manage what attendees see” for town halls, allowing organizers to customize layouts, backgrounds, theme colors, and name tags.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 will streamline the email entity page by opening emails in a shared tab with retained navigation and unique URLs.
